Lucille's POV

The ground felt too solid underneath my feet.

I wasn't sure if I heard right but that look on Benjamin's face was enough to have me question everything. It paled. His eyes darting from me to King who looked pleased with himself.

“What?” Benjamin frowned, his eyes still darting back and forth between us.

I opened my mouth to speak but before the words could leave my lips, King spoke. “I’m your new neighbor. I thought to say hi,” he said. “And I brought some food.”

Benjamin still seemed sceptical. “Then why did you-”

“I was only pulling your legs,” King responded before he could finish, still with no expression on his face.

He was stoic and he almost seemed annoyed speaking with Benjamin. While Benjamin didn't seem comfortable with him either. He was acting tough but he couldn't hide his fear and King wasn't trying to make it any better.

Benjamin smiled with a nod. “Oh, thank you but next time,” he came to me, bringing me close. “button up. It's not exactly pleasant to ha

    Lucille’s POVThose words made me question a lot of things. I found a way to navigate through it before he finally fell asleep but it didn’t mean I could get it out of my head.I didn’t want shared custody after our divorce and I had my way to get him to accept it but it would hurt Harvey.He had no reason to hate Benjamin. He was his father and to be fair, I didn’t want him to hate him. I just needed him to understand but how far could an eight year old understand.I hated that I had to leave and the situation I was in right now. “Sign here,” the officer pointed.I did that and signed on some more pages before I dropped the pen. “Alright,” the officer said, sending a hand signal to his colleagues.Once I spotted Benjamin, I rose from the seat. “Thank you, officer,” I said.Benjamin was taken off the handcuffs while I just stood there watching. He still had a bruised mark on his face with new injuries on his body.Prison life didn’t seem to favour him too much. “Honey,” his voice was

    Lucille’s POVI tossed the gun to the side, my hands shaking. King chuckled at that. “What is wrong with you?”I took in a deep breath, still staring down at his abdomen. The gun was empty but I wasn’t so sure. I’ve seen him shot before and the man was anything but cared for it.“Scared? Worried?” he asked.“Yes, I wouldn’t want a dead man in my house,” I said.His fingers came around my neck, pulling me close and I swear my lips itched to have his on mine right now. I knew he was doing all this on purpose but I was ready to fall.Just this once.His clean breath grazed my face as he spoke next. “You can’t get rid of me that easily even if you try, honey,” he said, etching closer.I subconsciously shut my eyes, waiting for the contact but it never came. Instead, my neck became bare as he stepped back. My lust was quickly replaced with embarrassment as I opened my eyes.“I’ll let you rest for the night,” he said, before exiting the house.I grabbed a pillow and was ready to throw it at

    Lucille’s POV“Let go of me!” I struggled but that did not make him waver.We made a stop but I couldn’t make out where we were. The path was pitch black. I tried to scream as he fumbled with a door but he dropped me from his shoulder to his arms.The movement was too fast that my scream sank down my throat and my hands came around his neck to keep me from crashing to the ground.“I guess you want this,” he whispered.“I don’t,” I said. “Let go of me.”I tried to get off him again but he held me firm. In two minutes, he dropped me. I yelped from the force, breathing heavily as I sank deeper into the couch, staring up at him.I couldn’t see his whole face but the light from the moon helped with his eyes. It confused me what I saw there. The lights came on and I realized we were back home but before I could celebrate I noticed the men scattered around my house.My heart dropped and I swallowed. These men were scary looking and worse at every side of the living room. Were they here to cl

    Lucille’s POV“What is this?” a voice came through the speakers.“This isn’t important yet but what if I told you the new technology Mr. Mathew told you he created was not from him,” Benjamin’s voice followed.“Really?” the man sounded skeptical.At this point, Mathew and Raymond were on their feets.“Mr. Mathew stole my work. I made the designs and the coding. I have the patent with me,” Benjamin said.“So why are you telling me this?”“Work with me. Crumble that company. Once I have it, I would ensure you get your share and would never be treated unfairly again.”“Turn it off!” Benjamin screamed, rushing over to the laptop.No one tried to stop him. He tapped furiously on the keyboard but it only changed the recording. “You stole it,” Katherine’s voice came and blood drained from her face.“Obviously, how do you expect that I convince Mr. Arnold that I know what I am doing,” he scoffed. “This would be perfect. I can’t wait for tomorrow’s launch. I will make sure that company drowns.

    Lucille's POV The soft hum of car was all that filled the space as we rode down the road. The sky was dark with the lights eliminating the paths.King took his eyes briefly away from the road. “What is it?” I asked, my tone almost hostile.“Feeling better?” he asked.I had so many things I wanted to say to him right now but I chose to stay silent until I saw him turn a corner and we were back to the road we had drove past a few minutes ago.“Where are you taking me?” I asked, looking out the window then back at him.“No where,” he replied with a calm tone.“So why did you bring me here?”“Do you feel better?” he asked again.“Should I be? And why do you keep asking that? Aren't we meant to be heading somewhere to help your case?”“I used that to get you out of the house but it sure would help when needed.”He sighed when I didn't give in to all that. “I thought you'd be upset after witnessing your husband's infidelity so I thought of a way to help you get better,” he said.“A little
